Moms and their girls are often best friends, but sometimes their styles just don’t get along. That doesn’t have to be true, though, as Boerne Lifestyle Publisher Tara Bové and her daughter Eliana prove. Boerne’s boutiques and style contributor Steely Lott’s sharp eye show us how the generations can find fashion peace and love their looks together.

These pieces can easily be worn in the summer and still be styled perfectly for fall! The light, knitted material and bright colors of the sweater top, along with the linen material of the romper, give that summer vibe. But pair the top with jeans and sneakers and the romper with cowboy boots and a denim jacket, these are taken into fall. Both of these outfits could be successfully swapped around to any age group!

Tara & Eliana: Sweater Outfits
Hey Love
These sweaters were both pieces each model picked themselves, which shows the versatility of a lightweight sweater—how it can be worn to the beach, to work, and more. Plus, with the Texas climate, they can be easily worn in the fall. These are the perfect outfits to add a colorful headband or a sassy bow. The possibilities are endless because every piece of these two outfits is interchangeable, proving they can be great for any age.

Tara looks chic, stylish, and ready for a work meeting or date night. Meanwhile, Eliana coordinates with this transitional outfit in jeans that elongate her legs and a tank that keeps things cool in this Texas heat. I initially imagined coordinating looks, but I love the pairing of something in which each woman is comfortable and feels like herself.

The fit of the dress Eliana is wearing is so in right now, especially paired with her sneakers or a summer sandal. Throw on a denim jacket or cardigan, and it can easily be worn in the fall. Tara’s pants are that “winter white” that you can wear all year round, and these pants will go with just about anything you have in your closet.

Tara: Denim dress | Eliana: Printed skirt
Hey Love
I specifically wanted Eliana and Tara to coordinate with these outfits so they’d have something perfect for family photos or a fun family outing. Tara’s denim dress is popular for any age, and the ruffle along the neckline, coupled with the bow in the back, adds the perfect feminine touch. The printed skirt on Eliana is part of a matching set, but we chose to pair it with a neutral bodysuit to show an outfit that Tara may steal from Eliana’s closet!
